Count On Tools Inc., a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts, recently purchased a 20mm CNC Swiss-Type Automatic Lathe by Star CNC to further increase production capabilities and lower product lead times.

The ECAS-20's high-speed turning facilitates secondary machining with the capability to produce complex geometric components with minimized nonproductive time. The 10-axis design features independent front and back working with 2-tool turning simultaneous operations. Unprecedented productivity, precision and operability separate this machine from the competition.

The industries that Count On Tools serves count on accuracy of part specifications and on-time delivery of orders. The ECAS-20 will help Count On Tools achieve both. Additionally, the new machine handles jobs faster by providing increased production speeds and faster processing power. “This new equipment helps us to produce tight tolerance, precision components quickly and consistently,” said Shook. “As a result, we can now respond to changing customer needs faster and at highly competitive costs."

As a contract manufacturer, Count On Tools and its experienced, knowledgeable management team strives to provide a full line of services to its customers and to continue meeting customers' demands both now and in the future.
